2. Stir occasionally with a fork to ensure all sides are golden brown.
3. In another heated pan with dry-fried fish head, add ginger slices and fry on low heat until done.
4. After frying one side, flip the fish head over and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown, then add water and bring to a boil.
5. Add the fried tofu and all seasonings, cook at high heat until boiling, then reduce to low heat.
